Damn, sad ass ending. RIP to her!
yeah unfortunately they usually end up like that. Hopefully they get someone for this and soon.
Thats fucked up.......just release the perpetrator to the community when caught... 
R.I.P. I hate things like this. Hate it!!
damn, RIP, babygirl
What did you expect people don't just up and bounce unless their suffering from some kind of mental issues...they're always dead,now if they find them is a whole other story, but at least her family can have closure...But the crazy thing is that they found her body right by her car only a few feet away...weird.
RIP Fellow Chicagoan

Foxnews is reporting Nailah talked to the police about a week before about some dude sending her harassing phone calls. But she didn't get a restraining / protection order. The police talked to the guy and decided to let him go.
Now a week later, this.
I think he should get another visit from the cops.

damn
It's fucked up no matter what and I definitely send out my condolensces to her loved ones and I'm asking because I really don't know. I'm not trying to be an asshole but I'm wondering, was she a celeb or someone famous, or was it an ongoing story I just didn't know about?
Don't know if she was anything but a drug representitive for a pharma company but I'll tell you something I don't understand, why does this hurt like hell to find this out? I don't know this woman but I'll be damn if this doesn't bother me more than I expected. Damn.

R.I.P. and a good thought out to her family. Prayers.
A human being, a black woman is dead. Attractive or not. Looks do not increase or decrease the tragedy of it. It's simply a horrible murder.
Thats right I call that shit the way I see it! Cause only a fucken
Faggot would look at a face as fine as hers and think about killing her!

Probably a jealous ex or a stalker.
RIP
Kinda remind me of the recent case in Houston, when the older boyfriend killed his ex-girlfriend ( Freshman at Texas A&M), and burned her body on a barbecue grill.
I remember one neighbor thought it was pork he was cooking...
R.i.p.
Here they're saying they have not IDENTIFIED the body YET -
Woman's body found in Calumet City

The body of a woman was found this morning in an area of Calumet City where police have been searching for Nailah Franklin, a Chicago woman missing for about a week.
Patrol officers found an unclothed body early this morning behind several vacant businesses at River Oaks Drive and Gold Coast Lane, near the Wentworth Woods Forest Preserve. Dozens of investigators with Calumet City police, Chicago police and the Cook County medical examiner's office were on the scene this morning.
The identity of the woman was not being released, but several of Franklin's relatives were on the scene awaiting word.
Dwayne Johnson, Franklin's uncle, said the entire family was "in prayer right now."
"We're still on our knees," Johnson said. "We're hoping that body is not Nailah, but it's somebody we need to pray for; this is somebody's loved one."
Johnson said many of Franklin's family members, including her five sisters and brother, had gathered at a family home to comfort one another.
Andre Wright, Franklin's boyfriend, said he was heading to Calumet City to wait for more information. "I'm just hoping it's not her," he said.
Also at the scene were dozens of people who say they feel a connection to the Franklin family and were concerned that the body would turn out to be her.
Authorities have been searching the Calumet City area over the last several days for Franklin, 28, who was reported missing Sept. 19 after failing to show up for a business meeting. Her car was found abandoned in Hammond on Saturday.
Franklin, a pharmaceuticals representative who lived in Chicago's University Village near the University of Illinois at Chicago campus, had filed a police report about threatening phone calls she received from a man she dated briefly. Since her disappearance, family members have been papering the city with fliers. Her family also offered a $10,000 reward for information on her whereabouts and set up a Web site aimed at generating leads.
Franklin was last heard from Sept. 18, when she called her boyfriend in Milwaukee. Three vague text messages from her phone later that night indicated she was having dinner and would call her family and boss back. They didn't hear from her again.
Franklin works for Eli Lilly & Co. She is a graduate of Homewood-Flossmoor High School and has a bachelor's degree in advertising from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. jgorner@tribune.com
